From
SilverlightCream.com:
- Model – View – ViewModel in Silverlight
- Pencho Popadiyn takes a hard look at MVVM, it's background, how it relates to WPF and Silverlight ... great tutorial with a good example, demo, and code.
- Silverlight gravity simulation on a dragable ball
- Gavin Wignall sent me a link to his blog to see if I thought it would be useful to everyone ... boy I'll say... this first one is a very cool gravity demo all with source... thanks for the link Gavin!
- Sparkling Client Podcast on The Bubble Chart
- Jesse Liberty found himself in PodCast-a-rama apparently ... this first one by our friends at Sparkling Client talking about the Bubble Chart from the Toolkit.
- An Hour Being Flexible
- In this next Podcast, Jesse Liberty is talking on TheFlexShow... um, no really! ... no chair throwing, no Dr. Phil "What were YOU thinking?" ... just good stuff as usual fromm Jesse. And thanks for the shoutout Jesse!
- Silverlight Drag and Drop and HitTest on any layout (not just Canvas)
- Ian Blackburn talks about Drag/Drop and hit testing and constructed a DragManager class that announces collisions with other elements. At the very least, this could save you a bunch of time!
- Silverlight ReaderWriterLock Implementation
- Rishi continues to compare WPF and Silverlight and in his case it's not a bad thing... because he keeps providing us goodness such as the ReaderWriterLock Implementation today... lots of outside links in the article as well.
- Disabling items in a Silverlight ListBox
- Andrej Tozon has a very cool demo of disabling items in a ListBox and along the way has probably the smallest demo of a ListBox that doesn't look like a list box -- worth the price of admission :)
- Generic XAML loading control
- Corey Schuman built a very nice-looking 'loading' control that you can either grab and use, or make your own based on what you can learn from Corey.
Stay in the 'Light!
